Adobe Firefly wins, 8.1 to 7.6
Training is the split here: Firefly's terms say it never uses what you make, while Ideogram only guarantees that on its Enterprise plan, so standard accounts have no opt out. Firefly also generates from a pose, sketch or depth map and exports true vector files, both missing from Ideogram. Ideogram counters with Magic Prompt to rewrite your wording and a fixed seed to reuse, on a paid plan starting at $20 a month.
Pick Adobe Firefly if you want pose or depth control and true vector exports.
Pick Ideogram if you want Magic Prompt, a reusable seed and negative prompts.
